Blog Like a Dog
Success, Quality and Quantity on an Industry Blog
Well, I have always avoided
blogs, I must tell you, they always seemed so silly to me, I never saw the use
in social network blogs, but then a friend introduced me to an Industry Blog
Community called: ActiveRain. Then in reading through it, it all made sense, you
see I have enough friends in my life and no need to seek any more, but
ActiveRain is more than that.
You see, it helps your
career in real estate and is a wedge in opening doors and an ice-breaker to new
business relationships. So, although it is a social network style platform it is
much more than that. Anyway, back to the reason you came here in the first
place. You are probably wondering how on Earth I posted 155 Blog Posts in
15-days.
Well, first it was not a
piece of cake. Second, I bought the new Dragon Naturally Speaking Software
9.5 (voice recognition). Third, I downloaded nearly all the
clip-art at Microsoft Office 2007 online help center. Forth, I spent a
huge number of hours writing each day. Fifth a little over half of my posts are
re-written articles from previous work.
And finally, I happen to be
the most prolific online article writer on the Internet, and write about 4500 to
18,000 words per day. So, you might say that I have an unfair advantage over the
crowd due to my back-ground and experience level. Now, with that said let me
also say that, 24 months ago, I had "no online articles" written prior to that
point, so it is not all luck.

Am I stopping here now with
such incredible statistics - such as 600 comments in my first 15-days as a
newbie at ActiveRain, or 155-blog posts in that same short time period - No, I
will keep going. Am I somewhat tired from all this work? I'd be lying if I
denied it, yes, I am pooped out like from blogging like a Dog.
Well there is my confession - I stacked the deck
Still, I hope you perhaps
learned something here. Because if you have the voice software, the clip art
galleries and some hard work ethic, you can probably write half that many
articles or blog posts in the same amount of time without resorting to posting
half paragraph blog posts that are void of information or not
meaningful.
The way I see it is that
your blog posts are a reflection on your professional standing in the real
estate industry and your personal character, and if you use trickery to get
folks to click on your blog post, you know that irritates some, me for instance.
Because too often folks who do this then leave us hanging with a few lines of
garbage or meaningless dribble, just to get blogging points then they are truly
doing yourself and the Active Rain Community a huge disservice.
